@Thom_Wolf Just got a shipping notif for a Friday delivery, I think the last time I was this excited to receive something was when I was 6 yo and believed in Santa. Thank you 😂

@heldiney Have you tried just asking cursor or codex? I found it pretty good and doing this + generating mermaid js diagrams

Am I the only concerned that the current zeitgeist reflects the intellectual capacity of a 3 yr old?

today, i fell down a fascinating rabbit hole.

i was trying to fix my terrible wifi and asked Grok 3 for help for a router recommendation.

instead of the usual Google maze of affiliate links, something different happened. the ai wove together deep technical reviews and security alerts into this incredibly nuanced recommendation.

at the end, it gave me 1 linksys router to buy and i added it to cart in seconds.

for the first time in a long time, i trusted a recommendation on the internet from a "search engine". we're talking about 100b+ annual e-commerce purchases being guided by ai recommendations within 24 months. every purchase decision getting filtered through ai citations.

this feels exactly like 2003, when building seo optimized websites was like fishing with dynamite. but this time it's different - there's no pagerank to game. just pure, technical expertise that these models love to reference.

how i'm thinking about getting "seen" by llms:
- create deep technical content that ai models love to cite
- pick complex topics no one's explained well
- write thorough analysis.
- build practical tools with cursor/bolt/replit/v0 etc.
- match your titles to real questions.
- @boringmarketer helps me with this.

we're literally rebuilding the foundation of how people find and trust information online. billions in commerce will flow through these ai citations. the early builders who create truly useful content now will own the recommendations of tomorrow.

I think we'll look back at Google as how did we trust it for so long with all the garbage it was giving us with affiliate links and paid links.

It went from an exceptional search engine to exceptionally noisy in a few years.

But the good news is this... there's tons of opportunity right now for founders.

And i don't know why more people aren't spending tons of their brain energy figuring out how to get seen/cited/trusted by LLMs.

It'll be worth it.

We use a new machine learning technique to identify the most cost-effective policies to boost immunization demand in India. We evaluated 75 combos of reminders, incentives, and local community ambassadors. The most effective increased immunization by 44%. https://t.co/4xFfAY34Dq

Many victims have been executed, shot at close range. Horrific scenes of carnage with numbers expected to reach 700. Following the mass graves at Al—Shifa hospital, it looks like Israel is a voracious death machine turning hospitals in Gaza into graveyards. Wake up world!

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

A 25-yr old sets himself on fire in protest of the massacres in Gaza and to support Palestinians at a time of genocide and the Press presents it as a mere suicide, forgetting to mention Gaza, Palestinians, Israel. Goebbels would be proud of the Western Press and Orwell horrified

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

At best, Gaza showed (actually confirmed) that Western Universalism is just verbalism for post-meeting speeches & commencement lectures.
But it showed something more sinister: that the so-called moral values, in their very selective applications, are just tools for influence.

@BBCNews whats up w news programming? Most people who turn on the news I presume want to see the news, which is impossible from 7-11am > currently nicky cambell is running a podcast asking people “how they feel when charlie speaks”

What happened to real global news?
